Leaflets
In October 2006 the Office of Science and Innovation announced changes to the criteria for eligibility fo research funding. This briefing explains why Prospect believes this change threatens partnership between British scientists and could turn the clock back 20 years.
This map shows the location of public sector labs and sites, with an indication as to whether they are closed or face closure; have suffered redundancies or early retirements; have or will be transferred to a university; will suffer under current funding arrangements; or whose future funding levels are uncertain.
British science has taken three sucker punches since July 2006. In February 2007, £68m was taken away from the research councils - money that had been ring-fenced for science. In October 2006, far-reaching changes were announced to the eligibility criteria for research council funding. And in July 2006, all Defra's agencies and public bodies were instructed to make in-year cuts to their budgets. This briefing looks at the impact of all these cuts.
This is the third in our series of briefings about public sector science. It looks at the work carried out by scientists in the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which touches many areas of our daily life: water, food, air, land, people, animals and plants.
